Cllr Will Dawson said: "These proposals would build upon recent developments in the city for walkers and cyclists. We are doing all we can to encourage people to keep fit and use sustainable transport methods.

"Projects such as more lowered kerbs and puffin crossings would make a contribution to people's safety, improving accessibility, so that they can get out and enjoy taking exercise. Our aim is to make it as easy as possible to enjoy these physical and low emission activities in Dundee, and as a result have a healthier population and improved air quality for all of us."
